FIFA World Cup Hungary vs El Salvador
The highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2022 is just around the corner, and looking back at past World Cups, some moments have always stood out, other games have been fraught with suspicion, and some have left supporters inconsolable over the years.
Here, we examine the World Cup games with the most goals ever scored. While games with high goal margins are interesting to recall, games won by margin line and time are always interesting to see. The squad with the lower score would undoubtedly have a nightmare.
The match between El Salvador and Hungary, which Hungary won 10-1, is the first on the list for the highest goal total. The match took place in the Group stages of the 1982 World Cup. The match took place in Spain’s Nuevo stadium. The fastest hat-trick in World Cup history was scored by László Kiss of Hungary.
The second match on the list is the one in which Yugoslavia defeated Zaire 9-0. The 1974 World Cup included this match. It was undoubtedly difficult for Zaire to compete in the World Cup for the first time while losing both of their games and having already given up 11 goals.
Hungary’s back-to-back huge wins at FIFA World Cup
The third match on the list is the one between Hungary and South Korea, which Hungary won 9-0. This had occurred at the 1954 World Cup. The game took place during Zurich’s second trip. It was undoubtedly a difficult time for South Korea when Ferenc Puskas scored twice during the game.
The fourth match on the list is Hungary vs. West Germany, which Hungary won 8-3. Hungary had just defeated South Korea 9-0 and had achieved this enormous amount against West Germany in the same year. Their victory over West Germany qualifies them for the quarterfinals as well.
Brazil’s unforgettable 1-7
The fifth game on the list is the one in which Switzerland defeated Austria 7-5. At the conclusion of an incredible 90 minutes that saw 12 goals scored, Austria had no choice but to concede. It is still regarded as one of the best and most intense games in FIFA World Cup history, thrilling football fans.
‘Belo Horizonte catastrophe’ is the only word that can describe what happened during the 1st semifinal of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Germany was running riots in front of the huge Brazilian crowd who thought their team would bring the 6th title home. Germany scored 5 goals within 25 minutes, the match was well over at that point. Brazilian fans were looking with little knowing what was happening. The 90th-minute goal from Oscar was never really consoled. Still, that devastating night haunts the memory of Brazilian fans all over the world.
